I'm predicting here and now: Ron Paul will win the Iowa Caucuses
I think he has committed supporters who will turn out on caucus night. But given Paul's lack of organization in other states I don't see him becoming the GOP nominee (I think it will be like Pat Robertson winning in Iowa in 1988). However, he will be helpful to Romney by deflating the Grinch balloon.

1. I agree. I've thought for a little while that Ron Paul would win Iowa. But Robertson didn't win in
1988. He came in second. Bob Dole won the 1988 Iowa Caucuses.

3. If Paul continues to gain support from disillusioned Obama supporters, he should do well.

Across from Drake University in Des Moines, Paul’s candidacy has been the subject of daily caffeinated discussions at Mars Cafe, said Daniel Bosman, who is the chief barista. The 30-year-old father of two said he might eventually support President Obama, as he did in 2008, but he’s starting to feel a pull toward Paul. “I like how he debates,” Bosman said. “He’s got the facts all up in his head, and it feels different when he’s saying it.”

4. If there's a Blizzard on caucus night, you'll be right
